The Study of Biological Soil Crusts: Hotspots and Prospects [PDF]

, 2013
Biological soil crusts (BSCs), which cover 35% of the continents and exceed 70% of the living cover in parts of region, play important ecological roles in the evolution of soil-water-plant systems in arid and semiarid areas.

Soil and water conservation

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1976
Water has been called ubiquitous, which may be a small exaggeration, but it is no exaggeration to say that it is intimately associated with soil. In the never‐ending hydrologic cycle, rain falls upon the soil, and whether the soil is shielded by vegetation or otherwise protected is much of what soil and water conservation is all about.The story of soil

Soil Water Balance

, 2001
In the more than 80 references related to banded vegetation patterns, five continents and 12 countries are represented. The early research concerned only the vegetation pattern itself (Clos-Arceduc 1956). Hypotheses regarding ecological functioning were then proposed between 1956 and 1970 and clearly synthesized by (1971) for seven countries.

Quantifying the Contribution of Sediment Load to Soil Detachment Rate by Sediment-Laden Rill Flow [PDF]

, 2017
Sediment load changes with downslope distance during rill erosion process, and thus quantifying the potential contribution of sediment load on soil detachment rate is essential to accurately model the rill erosion process.

Foliar Application of Iron Fortified Bacterio-siderophore And Rhizobium Seed Inoculation Promote Growth and Grain Fe Contents in Soybean and Chickpea

Journal of Microbiological Sciences
Iron (Fe)is one of the principle micronutrients critical for plant development and grain quality. Chickpea (Cicer aeritum) and soybean (Glycine max) are vital leguminous crops known for high protein contents in grain. But quality of grain is affected due

Potentials of hydrogels in rainfed soil to conserve soil moisture and fertility to maximize the wheat yield

Soil & Environment, 2020
The availability of limited irrigation water in rainfed regions is the most challenging constraint to harvest the maximum agronomic benefits. The adaptation of smart water-saving techniques is desperate to combat soil moisture stress and soil quality ...
